Antibiotics

If you were taking antibiotics, how else would you support your body?

I'm trying to find a video of mm talking about it but not having any luck.

I am meat, dairy, egg, gluten free. I'm doing a lot of things but main ones are- aloe water, papaya, thyme water, lemon water, celery juice, hmds, c, l-lysine, msm, d, magnesium, b12, zinc, elderberry syrup, cats claw, glutathione, propolis, goldenseal. I made fire honey (honey with ginger, turmeric, pepper, cayenne pepper and cinnamon). Wild blueberry juice. ​ I'm probably forgetting something lol

I'm on day 4 and just want to support my body as much as possible.

Thank you

Day 21 of an "episode/flare up"

I have been chronically ill for 7 years now. And about 6 years ago I started implementing lemon water every morning, and I've done it every morning since then. I haven't been the best about celery juice pr hmds. I would do it 3 or 4 times a week. And then there is weeks where I wouldn't do it at all. But the last year I've really been trying to be better about being consistent in doing the celery juice at least. Im also 3.5 months in of no gluten, dairy, eggs, meat and ive cut out most processed sugars.

In May I took serrapeptase, which is a biofilm disruptor because I have Candida overgrowth. Sibo and H pylori and I've tried treatment with conventional medicine that made me even more sick and didn't work as well as a natural protocol. I was reading, it's good to break down the biofilm First and every time I take something, whether it's a biofilm disruptor that one time or when I've done natural protocols to try and kill the bad bacteria's, I have horrible die off symptoms where I'm even more bloated, and then it makes me have heart palpitations, horrible anxiety, Panic attacks, high heart rate, more dizzy, short of breath. Etc to the point where I'm going to the ER and can't work.

This happened in me when I took the serrapeptase and then I backed off and in June, I was better. And then I was doing okay until three weeks ago. I haven't taken anything. I've just been more consistent with the celery juice. And i'm back into a three week loop, and it's even worse than may. I don't know what to do. I've gone to the e r twice but can't keep missing work. Help

Starting BUSPIRONE and PROPRANOLOL tonight...advice please

Hello all!

A little about me- been chronically ill for 7 years with MANY issues and have not been diagnosed with POTS but pretty positive I have it. I also discovered something called ROEMHELD SYNDROME and for sure have that. I've dealt with anxiety for at least 15 years but it never affected my life until the last few years.

I'm currently in day 18 of a 'flare up" if you will. These symptoms are chest pain, tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, panic, high hr, high bp, sense of doom, lightheaded, dizzy, feel shaky and just unwell. I've gone to ER twice cuz I'm scared I'm about to have a heart attack. I've done 2 stress tests and 3 heart monitors. Cardiologist doesn't think it's heart related but gonna do a calcium score scan to check plaque build up.

I've been stuck in a loop of mostly experiencing these symptoms for 18 days. When I eat, it makes it worse which is how I know I have roemheld syndrome. I've been very scared. I took lorazapm yesterday and it took these symptoms from an 8 to a 6 and I was able to go to my dr appt (follow up from ER). She agreed it's either pots causing adrenaline dumps and I'm stuck in a loop or the roemheld syndrome and until I get rid of the h pylori and sibo, this will prob keep happening so prescribed BUSPIRONE 7.5mg to take 1x daily and after a week do 2x a day. As well as PROPRANOLOL 10MG as needed to help me be and to function and get back to work.

Any advice on the BUS? With or without food? How did you feel on it? I'm scared to take it but can't live like this.

Thank you for reading and any input. Bless you.

Scary symptoms.... please read

I have been dealing with chronic illness for almost 7 years.

*h pylori (a stomach infection)

*gastritis

*systemic candida overgrowth

*non alcoholic fatty liver

*iron deficiency

*D deficiency

*Pcos-insulin resistance

*stage 4 endometriosis

*high blood pressure (but not all the time)

*Low hormones

*anxiety

*degenerative disc disease and arthritis in my lower back

so with all these things, I feel unwell most of the time. I'm now on day 15 of a "flare up"if you will.

All of these symptoms keep coming and going-Chest pain, chest and back tightness, pain that went into my left shoulder, lightheaded, dizzy, heart palpitations, high HR, high blood pressure, shortness of breath and just feel unwell. I've gone to the ER twice this week. Ekgs fine, troponin fine, basic labs fine and chest x ray too.

This has happened many times over the years and I've wore a heart monitor 3x and had 2 stress tests.. recent one in Jan. Cardiologist doesn't think this is heart related but I'm scared that it is and want more testing. It's like my nervous system has these surges and is stuck on a loop. I don't understand but I'm scared.

I'm seeing my pcp tomorrow and waiting to hear back from Cardiologist to see what he thinks.

Anyone dealt with similar episodes?

Concerning symptoms

I'm wondering if anyone else has these issues as well.

Sometimes I will have these random "episodes" if you will where out of no where I get chest and back tightness, chest pain (pinching, squeezing), palpitations, anxious, high heart rate, lightheaded and dizzy, sometimes shoulder pain, a little short of breath and just unwell. I've gone to the ER when this happens at least 15x in the last 6 years because of this and nothing.

I've done 3 heart monitors (just shows arrhythmias) and 2 stress tests (with ultrasound too) and nothing crazy. Yet I'm still worried about a possible blockage or something dangerous. The cardiologist that did those tests said I'm fine and sometimes we just don't know why these things happen but I'm not accepting that. I'm scared.

My LPA was 282 also.

C auris

Sooo, I've been dealing with systemic candida overgrowth for at least 15 years and also have h pylori, sibo and many other health issues.

I have an endoscopy this month to test the strain of h pylori to see what treatment will work but I'm getting a little nervous now that I'm seeing all this Candida Auris info. Makes me want to cancel my appt because they are saying it's spread most in hospitals and that healthy people are usually fine but high mortality rate in unhealthy. I'm not healthy.. I'm already filled with so much candida and other bad bacterias. Eeek

What are your guys thoughts?

Candida overgrowth, sibo, h pylori

Hello peeps!

Wondering if anyone has been healed from h pylori, sibo and candida overgrowth using mm info?

I've been doing LW everyday for 6 years.

Celery juice I am more consistent with now than 6 years ago but prob do it 4-6 days a week.

Hmds I usually do 2-3x a week.

I take mostly vimergy supps- d, magnesium, c, l-lysine, msm, lemon balm, zinc, b12, cats claw, goldenseal, iron, curcumin, l-glutamine powder, zinc carnosine and prob more I'm forgetting.

I drink aloe water a couple times a week and try to buy blueberry juice once a month (expensive). I started drinking cabbage juice 2 months ago as well.

When I'm trying to kill these things, I also add in black seed oil, oil of oregano, berberine, mastic gum and more.

I have horrible die off symptoms (like end up at the ER multiple times) and not sure why.

I have been vegan for a little over 2 months now. Been gluten free over 3 months and haven't had any bread either In over 2 months.

I do still eat some processed food and soy. I switched from coffee (275mg caffeine) to matcha (60-70mg caffeine). I've cut out like 90% processed sugar.

I know there's still cleaning up in my diet that needs to be done but I'm just looking for hope. I've been chronically ill for over 6 years with so many issues and NEED to be better 😢

I think this is a seborrheic keratosis? Not sure..

That lighter spot is almost like dried wax. I can peel it off and it just comes back. Does anyone else have this?

Remote job search

Hiii!!! Looking for any remote jobs that pay at last $23 hr. Anyone have any recommendations?

I have been a hair stylist for 19 years (had to close shop due to years of ongoing health issues).

3 years of retail/grocery experience.

A couple years of nanny experience.

Did door dash for a couple years as well.

Since becoming sick over 6 years ago, I have lost just about everything. The job I am working at pays minimum wage (took it out of desperation) and has put me further behind. I've been applying to jobs for a year and half and haven't gotten 1 Interview.

I am facing eviction, car is falling apart, I'm sick/stressed and need to get a better paying job immediately. Any recommendations would be so appreciated along with some prayers. Thank you

Does this look concerning to you guys? Possible skin C?

This is a spot on my mom's forehead.

She has had it a while she said... and it usually has a "crust" or something that she pulls off but said it hasn't come back since the last time she pulled it off.

I don't know if it itches or hurts (haven't asked yet) but I've been pushing her to go to derm to do full body skin cancer screening (she has lots of areas that look off to me and has spent a lottttttt of time in the sun).

She had the check up like a week or two ago and had a very young Dr who I guess gave her an antibiotic cream to try on this area and said to check back in with him in a month if it's not gone.

I'm wondering why he didn't biopsy it? I told her to call other places Monday to schedule a 2nd opinion elsewhere. Has anyone else had a spot like this? Google and chatgpt (I know, sorry. I really try to avoid AI) said it looks like squamous or basil C.

Thanks for any input.

Candida overgrowth

Hey guys! Tomorrow I'm having a follow up with my GI dr about how horrible I've felt the last month and a plan.

I have h pylori, gastritis and candida overgrowth (I think from so many antibiotics) and have been sick (prob from this and more issues) for over 6 years.

I did a biofilm disruptor for a few days beginning of last month and have been SICK since. Horrible die off that lasted 3.5 weeks and included 3 ER trips.

Tomorrow I'm gonna ask about an antifungal, so wanted to hear what one you guys have had the best success with and least amount of side effects.

I'm scared but want to try.

Thank you for reading! 🫶

What antibiotics are most effective?

Guys...I am so chronically sick and have done 1 failed round of AB for h pylori as well as 2 natural rounds. I keep saying I can't do AB ever again because I'm already so sick and can't afford to feel worse (I've taken them so many times that they have destroyed my gut) but I've been so sick for 12 days with horrific anxiety, chest tightness, palpitations, dizziness, nausea etc have gone to er twice....I just saw a dr today and she ran so many tests. Still waiting on a few results but so far my SED RATE and CRP are elevated which means inflammation/infection.... I'm assuming it's this damn h pylori and now strongly considering 1 more round of AB.

The ones my gastro prescribed are CLARITHROMYCIN and MEtronidazole. But I'm reading horrible things about how it can cause heart issues and I'm already dealing with that so want to find out what has 100% healed your guys infections with as little side effects as possible.

Thank you

Die off?

Hello! Have any of you experienced "die off" symptoms when doing h pylori treatment (natural) or any other cleanse?

I started taking serrapeptase a little less than 2 weeks ago and have taken it maybe 5x. I'm now on day 4 of chest tightness and upper back pain, high blood pressure, high heart rate, anxiety, fatigue, lightheaded etc. I went to the ER to rule out heart attack.

It then dawned on me that I'm pretty sure it's die off. This exact situation has happened the last 4 or 5x I've done a cleanse.

I do take binders but must not be enough. I really wanna continue the serrapeptase to try and break down the biofilm so I can finally kill the bad stuff in my body that's hiding.

Has anyone else experienced similar side effects?

Does anyone else have this bacteria? I did am oral health test a couple years ago and this was about as high as it can get. I also have h pylori and candida overgrowth so I know the BB comes from my gut. I feel it coming from my throat.

When i was in the hospital with pneumonia, they had me on IV antibiotics for 2 days I believe and my BB was like 90% gone. It lasted like 3 days max. I was so happy, I thought this nightmare was over but it came back worse.

I really don't want to take any more antibiotics because my gut is ruined and so I've been doing natural protocols and things to try and heal my gut and kill off these stupid bacteria.

Anyone have experience getting rid of FN?​

Hey guys. Has anyone used Tirzepatide to lose weight while they also have h pylori and bad gut issues?

I'm on the fence. Have about 140 to lose. So much inflammation. H pylori, gastritis, low hormones, iron deficient, pcos and more. I've been chronically ill and in pain for 6 years and think losing weight will help some things and heard it lowers inflammation. But I know it can also cause gastro issues and mine are already horrible.

Any input would be great, thank you.
